MINI Cooper John Cooper Works cylinder head core with all valves/springs/spark plug tubes installed and camshaft bearing caps.

This head has exhaust ports ported and intake ports mildly ported compared to a stock MINI Cooper cylinder head and as a result will give a good boost in HP/torque!

It will fit 2001-2006 MINI Cooper R50 gasoline models.

Wow $1,000???

You can buy a brand new/cleaned ported/polished/performance valved Mini head for $950 and make more hp and tq than the JCW head

 

Isn't the difference core exchange, making this a really good deal

 

I don't understand your statement, the core exchange doesn't cost anything to do.

 

You keep your core, you can sell it to offset cost or keep it as a spare.

 

I can see your point here, but I would sure think it would be hard to sell off a stock Mini head. Also, why not spend $50 less and get a head that is goign to produce MUCH more power?

 

Yes other companies ported heads with/without big valves will produce more HP/torque. Most are about $1500-2500 plus core charge and cores are used not new.

Where can you get a $950 head as you stated STF_U? Sounds ok to me.

The $950 is for the labor only. Still need to provide the head and shipping both ways.





BMW/Mini Cooper - Stage II $950(Labor only)
Multi-Angle Valve Job/Pocket Port Job
The "Head Refresh" process is performed, along with the following work:

Complete Debur
Lap, port faces and upper cap and gasket area for proper sealing
Port and polish intake and exhaust
Gasket match, port 30mm into ports and pocket port under seats
Light combustion chamber polish
Competition, high flow, multi angle, valve job
with preparatory angles
Polish valve margins, Hand lap valves and re-inspect
Set up proper seat pressure and clearances
Final clean for assembly
Preassembly inspection
Final Assembly, including new valve seals, is done in "clean room" environment
Vacuum test, and sign off
Pack and Ship

 

I contacted Dan and he said he would cover the shipping. And since I really don't want to go through the hassle of selling my stock head after I put the aftermarket one on this was a great way to go, combined with the fact that this head will make way more power than a JCW head

 

Thanks for the link-looks good. Let us know how it works out when it's all back together!

That is a fair price for a BRAND NEW head with valves and springs...

STF_U: We are always looking for good cylinder head cores (non-ported, OEM condition with no cracks) ... LMK when you want to sell yours

 

I would agree, decent price for a cleaned and inspected/brand new head.

When the OP said that this is a "core" I assumed it was used, but perhaps I am wrong.

Also, thank for for the advice, I may be contacting you soon
